ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMICAL KINETICS

CIVENGR 704

Course Description

Fundamental molecular processes that govern the fate and transformation of organic contaminants in natural environmental systems and engineered treatment processes. Emphasizes the kinetics describing these processes and focuses on transformation mechanisms of organic contaminants in aquatic systems. Specific topics include partitioning between air, water, and solids; chemical kinetics; substitution, hydrolysis, and redox reactions; oxidation reactions encountered in ozone and chlorine-based disinfection systems; and photochemical and biological transformations. Knowledge of water chemistry [such asCIV ENGR 500] required.
